Zendesk Overview#

The Zendesk API enables seamless integration of Zendesk's customer service platform with your existing business processes and third-party applications. By leveraging this API with Pipedream, you can automate ticket tracking, sync customer data, escalate issues, and streamline communication across multiple channels. This can significantly increase efficiency, accelerate response times, and enhance the overall customer experience. Automations can range from simple notifications to complex workflows involving data transformation and multi-step actions across various services.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/ticket.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "zendesk-ticket-added-to-view",
  name: "New Ticket Added to View (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a ticket is added to the specified view",
  version: "0.0.2",

  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    viewId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "viewId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookName() {
      return "Ticket Added To View Webhook";
    },
    getTriggerTitle() {

    },
    getTriggerConditions() {
      return {
        any: [
          {
            field: "update_type",
            value: "Change",
          },
          {

        ],
      };
    },
    async isRelevant(payload) {
      const { tickets } = await this.app.listTicketsInView({
        viewId: this.viewId,
      });
      const foundTicket = tickets.find(({ id }) => id == payload.ticketId);
      return foundTicket;
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Zendesk	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Zendesk app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Trigger Category ID	`categoryId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Custom Subdomain	`customSubdomain`	`string`	For Enterprise Zendesk accounts: optionally specify the subdomain to use. This will override the subdomain that was provided when connecting your Zendesk account to Pipedream. For example, if you Zendesk URL is https://examplehelp.zendesk.com, your subdomain is `examplehelp`
Fields	`fields`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
JSON Body	`jsonBody`	`string`	Custom JSON Body of the incoming payload. Setting `jsonBody` will overwrite the `fields` prop
View ID	`viewId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Zendesk uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zendesk account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zendesk and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Zendesk API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

triggers:writewebhooks:writereadtickets:writetickets:readusers:writeorganizations:readorganizations:write

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Action Code#

import mysql from "../../mysql.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mysql-execute-raw-query",
  name: "Execute SQL Query",
  description: "Execute a custom MySQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",
  type: "action",
  version: "2.0.1",
  props: {
    mysql,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    sql: {
      type: "sql",
      auth: {
        app: "mysql",
      },
      label: "SQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.mysql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.mysql.executeQuery(args);
    $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1
      ? "row"
      : "rows"}`);
    return data;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
SQL Query	`sql`	`sql`

Action Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
